Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1524: Chapter 1521 Zhang Yunlin Zhang Tieniu

“Oh, I see. I think your idea is right.” Ye Muyu nodded, giving him a positive response.

Liu Shen’s anger dissipated significantly, and he looked proudly at the others beside him. Standing to the side, he hoped for an early conclusion so he could enter the Chu family sooner.

Ye Muyu then turned to Zhang Hai, asking, “Why have you stayed here all this time?”

“I have trouble with my legs,” Zhang Hai’s cheeks flushed. He had already abandoned the idea of hiding from Ye Muyu, and with Liu Shen being favored, revealing his shortcomings didn’t matter much. After all, staying in the capital was no longer an option.

“Aside from that, where does your family live?” Ye Muyu noted this down on paper.

Zhang Hai answered honestly, “They’re all in the countryside, not far from the capital, about two hours away.”

“Alright, I understand.”

Ye Muyu then looked at the two young men.

She asked the sullen young man, “What’s your name?”

“I’m Zhang Yunlin.”

“What business have you done? Who’s left in your family?” Ye Muyu asked.

Zhang Yunlin saw her slightly lowered eyes and the constant gentle expression on her face. The hatred and anger that had been surging in his heart unexpectedly found a moment of peace: “I once helped Lord Zhao from Lingcheng with business outside, doing all sorts of deals. There’s only me left in my family, and a sister, who I’ve lost track of after she was sold.”

“So, you’re quite familiar with Lingcheng?” Ye Muyu was somewhat pleasantly surprised as she wrote down his background and continued questioning him.

Zhang Yunlin nodded, “I’m familiar not only with Lingcheng but also with several nearby county cities like Luo County and Rong County.”

“Okay, I’m done asking.”

Ye Muyu proceeded to question the remaining frail-looking youth.

The frail youth, cheeks red, knelt down before she could ask, “Lady, I used to sell candied hawthorn sticks and vegetables, that’s all. Please don’t be angry… I didn’t intentionally hide it from you, I just wanted a full meal.”

As he spoke, the frail youth kept kowtowing.

His forehead quickly turned red and bloodstained.

“Stop kowtowing, speak slowly.” As Ye Muyu spoke, Chun Xing stepped forward and forcefully pulled him up.

The youth stood trembling, afraid to move: “What’s your name?”

“I’m Zhang Tieniu.”

“Who else is in your family?”

“My parents, brother, and sister,” Zhang Tieniu’s voice grew quieter.

Upon hearing this, Ye Muyu’s gaze sharpened, falling on him: “So, your family isn’t so poor that you can’t afford to eat. Why were you sold?”

“My elder brother is very knowledgeable, and there’s hope for him to achieve a title, so I sold myself.”

Ye Muyu’s fingers twitched slightly, but she said nothing.

She then questioned the others.

Ultimately, she bought all five persons, and the rest were taken back by the broker.

Liu Shen observed that Ye Muyu indeed bought him, feeling a small sense of pride. However, when his gaze fell on Zhang Hai’s dumbfounded expression beside him, he furrowed his brows, trying to devise a way to ensure he holds an absolute position.

“Lady, Guard Lu has arrived,” Su Mei walked over quietly, whispering in Ye Muyu’s ear.

Ye Muyu responded with a nod and pointed at Liu Shen, saying, “You, go over to Guard Lu. He will advise you on what to do.”

Although Liu Shen felt a bit puzzled, he thought about how he was the first to be arranged, and he did indeed know Lu Chuan.
